Q about bbks + starter

[cyac5l8trfcar]

So i'm at work trying to put my starter in when i realized, it won't. I've got bbk long tubes + moroso deep sump + stock k = not in a million years. I've taken the solenoid off which did nothing for clearance and I took the cross brace off under the trans near the bell. Any one ever put these in a 4v and get a starter in? any help would be very appreciated.

I have a COPMPLETE FORD MITCHEL Program on CD's that the Union shops use. Its a 4 grand cd set that my buddy coppied before installing it at the dealers :headbang: Let me know if you need any info from this shit.

the starter has to go in before the headers are tightened up for sure. There is no way it will fit if you try to put it in after the headers...

I work at a dealer and have unlimited access to alldata, a better software imo.


I'm thinking if i take the motor off of the starter nose cone i can sneak it in there piece by piece and assemble it when it's past the tubes. Theres a ton of room in there, it's just getting there is the problem.

I have longtubes but also a tube k member too. Make sure when you get it in there to only put 2 of the 3 bolts in the starter. Leave the top one out, you will thank yourself later. The top one is a PITA to get out. I took it out when I put headers on and it has saved me many times.

I have BBK Longtubes also and don't have an issue getting it in or out w/ the header on. But like above. I have a tubular K member so I can see up in there better. The best way to get in there is a bunch of long ass extentions and go in straigt from the front of the car...before the K-member.
